Robert Gustafsson is CEO and leading real estate agent at Mäklarhuset Åland Ab, which in addition to traditional property brokerage is also the largest property manager in Åland.- We offer complete quality brokerage!
According to Robert Gustafsson, traditional residential property and share apartments are the most common forms of housing in Åland. Here, a Finnish share apartment is comparable to a Swedish co-ownership home, but generally corresponds to a Swedish tenant-owned apartment.
- The greatest demand is still for residential houses in Mariehamn, preferably modern and move-in ready. Or unique character villas. My own expertise is new construction, where we have the privilege of working directly with the best builders in residential construction in Åland.
Robert recommends that anyone considering moving to Åland contact a real estate agent to find out what opportunities are available. Many people have poor knowledge of what they can buy, and where.- We receive a lot of calls, mainly from Sweden, asking about the right of domicile and exemptions from land acquisition rights. We are well-versed in this and are happy to help answer all questions.
In Åland, there is no property listing platform similar to Hemnet or Blocket. Instead, you need to monitor the real estate agents' websites and social media to keep track of the market. You can also subscribe to the agents' newsletters.
- This way you get a better picture of the price level. At Mäklarhuset, we always set market-based asking prices, so even if you are new to the area and are not familiar with the local market – or know what the property is worth – you can feel confident when buying a home through us.
Robert Gustafsson himself has extensive experience in the real estate industry in Åland. He has worked as an agent for 15 years and was involved in founding Mäklarhuset in 2013. For him as an agent, high credibility is important. This includes having extensive knowledge of each property for sale and of the laws, rules and regulations that govern the sale.
- Buying a home is for many people the biggest transaction of their lives, which is why it is important that they can do so in a secure manner. My clients should feel confident that I know what I am selling. We always engage qualified inspection companies to conduct condition assessments of our properties, and highlight everything that may influence your purchasing decision.
Swedish families with children are the strongest target group among Mäklarhuset's foreign customers, largely due to good schools and the safety of the community. Åland also attracts many older people who appreciate the cultural life and the rich variety of activities.
- My Åland is safe and the world's best place for children to grow up. I am grateful that I have the privilege of not having to worry about things that should be a matter of course everywhere. We have good schools, good healthcare and everything is close by. Beyond that, I appreciate the community spirit of always receiving quick and personal service.
